A quick start to insert 123 flash chat room into your webpage:

This's a quick way to insert 123 flash chat into your webpage.
For advanced setting, please refer to Manual.pdf.

Step 1): Install the chat server and start the chat server

a) For Linux users

Please ssh or telnet your server, and enter following commands:

$ wget http://www.123flashchat.com/download/123flashchat.tar.gz
$ tar zxf 123flashchat.tar.gz
$ cd 123flashchat/server
$ ./fcserver.sh start

b) For Windows users

Firstly log in Windows desktop, download this file with download software:
http://www.123flashchat.com/download/123flashchat.exe
double click "123flashchat.exe".
Usually it takes one minute to finish installation, chat server will then automatically start as NT Service.

c) For other system users, it's a bit more complicated, please refer to Manual.pdf for further instructions.

Step 2): Web server

You must firstly have a web server before you go forward.
If not, please install one web server.
We recommend apache--a professional web server which is free of charge and support all kinds of operation systems.

Step 3): Copy "client" folder

After 123flashchat is installed, you'll find a "client" folder in the installation directory.
Please copy or upload this folder into your web directory.

Note: DONNOT copy the "server" folder to protect them from being downloaded by chatters, which is very insecure.

Step 4): Edit client.xml

After "client" folder is uploaded or copied to your web directory, there'll be a client.xml file in it.
You can view this file in browser, like this:
http://www.yourhost.com/client.xml

To ensure the connection from client to chat server, please edit the client.xml. A notepad can open client.xml and edit it.

Find:
<primaryServer host="127.0.0.1" port="51127" />
Change to:
<primaryServer host="www.yourhost.com" port="51127" />

Otherwise if you used IP address as URL like: http://12.34.56.78/client.xml,
you'd better change it to:
<primaryServer host="12.34.56.78" port="51127" />

The port value in client.xml should follow the change of port value in fcserver.xml.
For advanced connection configuration, please refer to: http://www.123flashchat.com/howto_configure_connection.html

Step 5): Insert html code

You can insert 123flashchat.swf under web directory into static or dynamic webpage with following code:

In the code, if:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="123flashchat.swf">
Then the webpage and 123flashchat.swf must be in the same folder.
If:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/another_directory/123flashchat.swf">
Then you have to add a parameter "init_root" after 123flashchat.swf to ensure 123flashchat.swf can find the relative files to load.
The format is:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/another_directory /123flashchat.swf?init_root=/another_directory/">

If the 123flashchat.swf is on another domain, like:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.another_domain.com/chat/123flashchat.swf">
The parameter "init_root" is also indispensable:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.another_domain.com/chat/123flashchat.swf?init_root=http://www.another_domain.com/chat/">

Done. Open a browser to enjoy your chatroom, congratulations!
